The Jim Henson Company announces 'Frog and Toad'

An animated feature will be adapted from Arnold Lobel's four illustrated books, which were originally published in the 1970s.

"Frog and Toad has tremendous value with parents who read these charming stories when they were children and are now sharing them with their own kids," said Lisa Henson, CEO of The Jim Henson Company.

"With such high-calibre talent on board, the delightful and funny adventures of these two great friends - with a nod to the classic 'buddy movie' - will bring a whole new audience to their big-screen debut."
